Answer:

New Cost of item is
\$ 21

Explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item =
\$ 42

Item was marked down by
50\%

To Calculate Cost after
50\% marked down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after marked down =
(42 * 50)/(100)= \$21

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after
50\% marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item =
\$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21
